Thomann Music Stand Aluminium Black

Lightweight and slim, this music stand folds neatly away and fits neatly into a strong nylon bag with a convenient carrying handle ad velcro seal. Unfolding and folding the stand takes a little getting used to, particularly the tilt mechanism, which is described on the information sheet, but oddly in the drawing of "how not to do it" the big X covers part of the drawing which it would be handy to be able to see. But one gets used to it. I'm 180cm and the music is directly in front of my face when the stand is fully extended. I like the black aluminium, really, for the price, this music stand just can't be beat.

I use this guitar for live performance and rehearsal, for my text lines when playing a guitar. It will work great in sitting and standing position, it is high enough. Really nice music stand for the money, lightweight, comes with a nice gig bag - that is a nice touch because the plastic parts and the screw parts are better protected while in transport - if dropped down the gig bag will offer some protection. It looks simple and elegant, usual black color. It took some time fo figure out the button function but it is actually very simple to use. Stability is good when you have the book on it, otherwise it is pretty unstable because of the light weight. For me the weight of this music stand is perfect because sometimes I have to carry my equipment for a couple of hundred meters to get to the gig. Plastic parts seem solid enough and the size of the stand is perfect for my needs. Again quality/price ratio is unbeatable - just like many other Thomann branded products. If you need a simple and lightweight music stand to carry around a lot then this is the way to go.

I bought this stand primarily because it was the lightest one I could find.

It is definitely very light but also surprisingly stable. Do be aware that it's not magnetic, but that is stated quite clearly in the article description.

It unfortunately doesn't fold up quite as compactly as some other stands, so what you gain in being light weight you lose in compactness.

The biggest problem I had was getting the button mechanism for tilting the table working. It's not difficult, but there is a trick to it you need to get a hang of. The one thing I will say for it is that the table on this stand wobbles a lot less than other stands.

All in all a good stand. If it folded down smaller I would've given it 5 stars.
